• Tell HN: Account can be deleted anytime, for any reason

  This lets you have a stable email address (e.g., johndoe@mydomain.com) no matter which email service you use. Consider https://njal.la/ or something similar. I also use Portmaster when I am on Windows. Forget defending against the government, they have state authority (violence, jail time), you don't.

• This subreddit is available for OFFICIAL coherence therapy people (currently moderated by layperson who is an enthusiastic geek about memory reconsolidation topics)

  This subreddit is available for official coherence therapy people, just email me at lightningconductor(at)riseup.net (replace (at) with the @ mark), if you think you are the right person to take care of this forum.

• What are ways you’ve noticed society has gotten worse?

  Riseup.net may have tips for organizing online. It's run by awful Antifa types, but the software and infrastructure they develop is of interest to anyone wanting to collaborate with friends away from the prying eyes of greedy Capital. Source: over 1 year ago

• Discord has been using ML to determine the gender and age of some of its users

  The beginning of enshitification of discord (while 100% expected) for some reason hits harder then any other service I've used throughout all these years. It has entirely replaced social media for me. It just felt more organic to me then anything else. So... Since I've heard about the ads coming to discord, and I have looked into alternatives. They do exist, in varying quality, and there are programs for some of... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke about Norm Macdonald

While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use. For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in),... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger

  I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance. [0] https://matrix.org. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger chats on Instagram

  Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... Slowly improving. Source: 6 months ago
